Relief Mental Health Opens First Colorado Clinic in Denver, Expanding Access to Rapid, Innovative Care
DENVER, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Relief Mental Health, an award-winning outpatient provider of innovative mental health services, proudly announces the opening of its 12th clinic—and first in Colorado—now serving patients in Denver.
This expansion brings Relief's mission of expedited, personalized care to a state where mental health is a serious challenge and needs are urgent and growing.
The Denver clinic launches with two core services: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) administered by a board-certified psychiatrist and therapy provided by licensed professional counselor. Additional offerings, including SPRAVATO® (esketamine) and psychiatric medication management, will be introduced in the coming months.
"Mental health doesn't wait—and neither should patients," said Susan Mueller, founder and CEO at Relief Mental Health, which opened in January 2020 in Oak Brook, Illinois. "We're committed to seeing new patients within a week of their first call, if not days, because timely access can make all the difference."
Cutting-Edge Treatments Provide Relief
TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is primarily used to treat depression and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), especially in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy.
Using BrainsWay Deep TMS™ technology, Relief's care is the most advanced and effective treatment available. Deep TMS is administered in a clinical setting, where patients sit comfortably while a specialized helmet delivers targeted magnetic stimulation to deeper brain structures.
Treatments are typically done five days a week over several weeks, with sessions lasting about 20 minutes. Deep TMS is well-tolerated, does not require anesthesia, and allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately after. It is suitable for individuals seeking a medication-free, evidence-based approach to managing persistent depression or OCD symptoms.
When medical criteria are met, Deep TMS is typically covered by insurance, making this advanced treatment an accessible option for individuals who qualify.
Addressing Colorado's Mental Health Crisis
Colorado faces significant mental health challenges. According to the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey, more than one in four Coloradans reported poor mental health, the highest rate ever recorded by the survey. Furthermore, 17 percent of residents—approximately 880,000 people—said they were unable to get the mental health care they needed, with more than half citing the inability to secure timely appointments as the primary barrier.
The situation is particularly acute among younger adults and marginalized communities. More than a third of individuals aged 18-50 reported serious mental health challenges, and LGBTQ+ Coloradans experienced poor mental health at a rate of 54.4 percent, nearly double that of their straight and cisgender counterparts, according to the Colorado Health Institute.
Access issues are compounded by a shortage of mental health professionals. The Colorado Health Institute reports that 2.8 million Coloradans—48 percent of the state's population—live in areas designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas.
Relief's Commitment to Expedited, Personalized Care
Relief Mental Health is dedicated to bridging these gaps by offering prompt, individualized treatment. With a focus on evidence-based therapies and an empathetic approach, Relief aims to reduce the burden of mental health diagnoses in Colorado communities.

Novartis Pluvicto™ demonstrates statistically significant and clinically meaningful rPFS benefit in patients with PSMA-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 2, 2025, 10:15 IST Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR At interim analysis, PSMAddition trial met its primary endpoint showing statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit for Pluvicto™ plus hormone therapy versus hormone therapy alone, with positive trend in overall survival (OS) 1 Pluvicto is already approved for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and now shows potential in patients in an earlier disease setting 1,2 Novartis to present results at an upcoming medical meeting and, based on FDA feedback, will submit for regulatory review in the second half of the year Novartis is investigating a broad portfolio of RLTs in advanced cancers, including breast, colon, lung and pancreatic and is investing in multiple manufacturing facilities, with industry-leading infrastructure to accelerate delivery of RLTs to patients Basel, June 2, 2025 – Novartis today announced topline results from a pre-specified interim analysis of the Phase III PSMAddition trial. The trial met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit in radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) with a positive trend in overall survival (OS) in patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated with radioligand therapy (RLT), Pluvicto™ (lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan), in combination with standard of care (SoC) versus SoC alone1. In PSMAddition, the SoC is a combination of androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) therapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)3. Almost all mHSPC patients ultimately progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)4. There is a need for additional treatment options with novel mechanisms of action that further delay progression, prolong OS and improve disease control compared to the current SoC, while showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile. 'The progression from metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer to castration-resistant disease remains a formidable challenge that can profoundly impact the survival of patients,' said Shreeram Aradhye, M.D., President, Development and Chief Medical Officer at Novartis. 'These results further strengthen our confidence in Pluvicto as a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. Following the recent FDA approval based on the PSMAfore trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, these data suggest using it in an earlier disease setting could advance care and address a significant unmet need for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients.' This is the third positive read-out for Pluvicto in a Phase III trial, following the VISION and PSMAfore studies5,6. Results from PSMAddition in mHSPC show potential for treatment in an earlier setting with Pluvicto, which was recently granted US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for earlier use in mCRPC, based on results from PSMAfore1,2. Novartis is harnessing the innovation of world-class scientists, strategic partnerships and one of the industry's most competitive pipelines to explore the potential of new, targeted therapies and precision medicine platforms to address the greatest unmet needs in prostate cancer. Data will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting and, based on FDA feedback, will be submitted for regulatory review in the second half of the year. About PSMAddition study PSMAddition (NCT04720157) is a Phase III, open-label, prospective, 1:1 randomized study comparing the efficacy and safety of Pluvicto in combination with SoC (ARPI + ADT) vs. SoC alone in adult patients with PSMA-positive mHSPC3. Patients randomized to the SoC alone arm are allowed to crossover to receive Pluvicto, upon confirmation of radiographic progression by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) and per the discretion of the treating physician3. The primary endpoint is rPFS, defined as the time to radiographic progression by PCWG3-modified RECIST V1.1 (as assessed by BIRC) or death3. The key secondary endpoint of OS is defined as time to death due to any cause3. About Pluvicto™ (INN: lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan) Pluvicto is an intravenous RLT that combines a targeting compound (a ligand) with a therapeutic radionuclide (a radioactive particle, in this case lutetium-177)5,7. After administration into the bloodstream, Pluvicto binds to PSMA-expressing target cells, including prostate cancer cells that express PSMA, a transmembrane protein5,7. Once bound, energy emissions from the radioisotope damage the target cells and nearby cells, disrupting their ability to replicate and/or triggering cell death7. Pluvicto is the only PSMA-targeted agent approved for PSMA-positive mCRPC and is the first targeted RLT to demonstrate a clinical benefit for patients with PSMA-positive mHSPC1. Novartis is investigating Pluvicto in earlier stages of disease, including oligometastatic prostate cancer (PSMA-DC, NCT05939414). Novartis and radioligand therapy (RLT) Novartis is reimagining cancer care with RLT for patients with advanced cancers. By harnessing the power of targeted radiation and applying it to advanced cancers, RLT is designed to deliver treatment directly to target cells, anywhere in the body8,9. Novartis is investigating a broad portfolio of RLTs, exploring new isotopes, ligands and combination therapies to look beyond gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) and prostate cancer and into breast, colon, lung and pancreatic cancer. Novartis has established global expertise, with specialized supply chain and manufacturing capabilities across its network of RLT production sites. To support growing demand for RLTs, we have expanded production capabilities in Millburn (NJ), Zaragoza (Spain), Ivrea (Italy) and a state-of-the-art facility in Indianapolis (IN). In Carlsbad (CA), Novartis is establishing its third US-based RLT manufacturing site to support expanded use of RLTs, create resiliency in its manufacturing network and optimize the delivery of medicines to patients on the West Coast.
